A Mauricie woman believes her husband was the victim of a social media challenge that allegedly involved loosening the lug nuts of people's cars. Police say they have not received any official complaints but are reminding the public to be careful with information circulating online.
Her husband stopped the car after feeling something unusual and discovered that the lug nuts were loose. After sharing it online, his message went viral and sparked a huge debate.
Automotive experts say that often loose lug nuts or potholes are the cause of these problems. So using a torque wrench and following the correct standards is important.
Trois-Rivières and SQ police say no complaints have been filed and are warning against disinformation involving young people. They insist on getting information only from official sources.
CAA-Quebec advises drivers to visually inspect their vehicles and listen for unusual noises before setting off to avoid road hazards.
